Not a bad idea, was simply hoping I could stick with OpenDNS, but a firewall/proxy like you mentioned may make sense. ... View more

At the moment it seems ok, but the behavior is still concerning to me.  It seems that with IPV6 enabled OpenDNS does not work, it must bypass the defined DNS settings.  I am working with an additional router internally attemping to lock down the connection a bit to keep my kids focused during school hours. ...

I was able to replicate the problem when I disabled IPV6 Automatic, also noted this in the logs, look at the dates:   I just noticed this... Look at the dates: Dec 31 19:01:08 (none) user.warn [igmpproxy main] igmpproxy[1191]: [acceptV3GroupReport] Group Record [2]: Record Type=2 Dec 31 19:01:08 (none) user.warn [igmpproxy main] igmpproxy[1191]: [acceptV3GroupReport] Group Record [1]: Multicast Address=224.0.0.253 Dec 31 19:01:08 (none) user.warn [igmpproxy main] igmpproxy[1191]: [acceptV3GroupReport] Group Record [1]: Num src=0 Dec 31 19:01:08 (none) user.warn [igmpproxy main] igmpproxy[1191]: [acceptV3GroupReport] Group Record [1]: Aux Data Len=0 Dec 31 19:01:08 (none) user.warn [igmpproxy main] igmpproxy[1191]: [acceptV3GroupReport] Group Record [1]: Record Type=2 Dec 31 19:01:08 (none) user.warn [igmpproxy main] igmpproxy[1191]: [acceptV3GroupReport] Group Record [0]: Multicast Address=224.0.0.253 ...

Well, its still stable, this is frusturating behavior to say the least.  I have re-enabled wireless, 5GHz only for my office and plugged in a Netgear for the rest of the household.   I did notice while troubleshooting that for a little bit my computer would get the external IP of the device, then switch to the private lan address.  That seems to be settled out now.   FYI, I set my lease to 1 day. ...

Ok, so I did ask you asked, it 'seems' to be  stable now...  I am getting these in the error logs:   Apr 4 23:33:00 (none) kern.err kernel: [ 5223.920000] ICMPv6 RA: ndisc_router_discovery() failed to add default route. Apr 4 23:32:50 (none) user.warn [igmpproxy main] igmpproxy[1401]: [acceptV3GroupReport] Group Record [0]: Multicast Address=224.0.0.252   Any thoughts? ... View more

Well, I changed the IP range of the networks to 192.168.150.x from 192.168.60.x, and eventually during my troubleshooting turned off the wireless to eliminate a variable. I will go ahead and put the network back.. ... View more

I'm not in front of my computer, but I can state that I did utilize level3's DNS to bypass the internal DNS, 4.2.21 and 4.2.2.2. I typically use OpenDNS for my home internet, that also works. I am disappointed that Hughes has released a device that is effectively running beta code, I'd rather a well performing satellite modem over a finicky beta quality router. I will share that when I lose external connectivity I also lose connectivity to the internal interface, it may or may not be rebooting but both interfaces a continuously reset. ... View more
